[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 850714, member: 282"] I hadn’t forgotten this, but I’d pushed it way back in my mind. Not having a ready counter for 22 personnel is well … it’s not like a halfback pass or a flea flicker … it’s not a gadget play. Fullbacks have become a little bit of a dinosaur, but in the chess match of X’s and O’s, this is like using your rooks. I have to think that Ken Suguira picked the quotes he liked, and the smashmouth approach wasn’t as baffling to the coaches as the article made it sound. Still, just stay in a 4-3 and blitz them. This wasn’t even a supervillian technique. Getting outcoached by NIU when their coach just says “we’ll line up in a heavy formation and push them down the field” and you have no immediate counter is, in combination with everything else we’ve seen this year, cause to re-evaluate your approach to defense. I would not say this is our worst loss of the year. It was just the **first** loss of the year. I would say it’s the same loss as VT and UVA and Pitt and Notre Dame and BC—we were simply unable to get the stops we should get. We should have held NIU to a score like 10. Beating a team like NIU is table stakes. Maybe the UGA is a “worse” loss, but NIU was an omen for the rest of the year. [/QUOTE]
